NBATV says Carlisle is the new coach for the Mavs

[Lockdown]

I'm always very leery of anything that Peter Vecsey says. Cuban hates him so I can't imagine anyone in the Mavs would give him any kind of scoop.

Vecsey's rumours usually sound like they come from agents, not anybody's front office.

Dont like the hiring if it's true, he just seems like another Avery IMO.

Carlisle >>>>> Avery

I like the move. Carslile is like Avery with more experience. At least hopefully. Carslile was exactly like Avery but has spent several years learning the other aspects of coaching and not being a complete control freak.

We just want a coach who might be able to outcoach someone else for a change.

Im fine with it.

For one thing Carlisle did build 2 contenders. He is a good defensive coach. I'm worried about his offense but I think if he keeps Assistant Coach Westphal that it'll be ok. His offense cannot be any worse than Avery's crap offense.

And most likely his contract will be shorter than usual head coaches. At least that's what I hear and want.

I don't think it's bad, but ther really isn't a lot of options.

Carlisle's a good coach.. But he won't be able to fix the mess in Dallas.. They'll need a roster makeover..

[Last Guardian]

Carlisle is a winning coach.

Carlisle is an awesome coach. Does the Eastern Conference want to think about picking up some good coaches? Just a little bit?

I think Carlisle is vastly overrated. Maybe this gig will finally make that clear.
